"Lockin, maker of vein-recognition locks, debuted its newest model on the CES floor. It charges wirelessly via an optical infrared beam with a four-meter range. A small device, connected to a standard outlet inside the house, shoots a beam at the lock, which has a small receptor panel that turns the light into power, sort of like a plug-in sun beaming at a tiny solar array."
"The lock itself is a mortise lock that will likely require a pro to install, as it's not just a standard deadbolt replacer. It's not a standard lock in other ways too, with video and speaker capabilites, AI recognition as well as touchscreen features and vein recognition. The tall black rectangle looked sleek (if huge) in person with a pocket-style grip and a rather sizable display on the interior panel."
"The outer panel has a touchscreen along with two cameras allowing it to act as a doorbell video camera. You can unlock the door via palm, finger vein or 3D facial recognition. It'll feed the video to any of the major smart home eco systems, including those from Google, Apple, Amazon and Samsung. But for general setup and advanced AI features, such as recognizing a package delivery and speaking a canned request to the driver, you'd use Lockin's own app."
The V7 Max is a mortise smart lock that charges wirelessly using an infrared optical beam with a four-meter range. A small wall-connected transmitter directs an infrared beam to a receptor panel on the lock that converts light into power; charging halts if the beam is interrupted. The lock includes video, speaker, AI recognition, a touchscreen, vein recognition, and supports palm, finger-vein and 3D facial unlocking. The outer panel houses two cameras for doorbell-style video and integrates with Google, Apple, Amazon and Samsung ecosystems. Lockin's app enables setup and advanced AI functions like package recognition and canned voice responses to delivery drivers.
